Picket Fence

 18 - 20 December 2020

Another little bit of fencing to fix.  This was very quick and easy, compared to how it might have been back in the summer when the ground was solid.  We rattled it up in about an hour, before Greek lessons started at 11am.

We've had these two lengths of picket fence since June, but we couldn't imagine knocking the post holders 50cm into the ground at that time.  We had to do 4 of them for the arch, and it was incredibly difficult.  This time they went in like soft butter.

I left Dave to finish and went off to Greek.

Later that afternoon, taking advantage of the first sunshine in ages, we posed for our Christmas card with our one and only full-grown orange on the tree.

Another unseasonal development - new toad spawn in the pond.  I'm sure this shouldn't happen in December?
 
And a dead fish - floating in the pond before I removed it and fed it to the banana tree.  It has had a bite taken out of it, but Dave thought that was likely after it died.  Wonder what killed it?
